FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?

The XT-6 GTX is optimized for light-to-moderate hiking and mixed-terrain use. While highly durable, for multi-day heavy backpacking, a dedicated hiking boot may be preferred.

Does the GORE-TEX lining make the shoe hot?

GORE-TEX is designed to be breathable, but as a waterproof membrane, it will generally run warmer than non-waterproof mesh versions.

How should I store these trainers?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and colour fading.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired.

Are these true to size?

Most users find the XT-6 series to be consistent with standard sizing, though it is recommended to test them with the socks you intend to wear.

Troubleshooting

Water penetrating the shoe

Verify if the laces are tightened properly to seal the throat of the shoe. If the GORE-TEX membrane has been compromised by a puncture, specialized repair patches may be necessary.

Discomfort during long walks

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and allow for a gradual break-in period of 3-5 wears to let the chassis conform to your foot shape.

Loss of traction

Clean mud and debris from the lug patterns on the outsole, as packed-in dirt significantly reduces grip on slick surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wet-weather protection via GORE-TEX
  • Highly stable chassis for technical terrain
  • Robust and long-lasting build quality
  • Versatile design suitable for varied settings

Cons

  • May require a short break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Stiffer feel compared to casual sneakers
  • Limited to specific colour options in the GTX range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers, keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the size 8.5 UK provides a snug but comfortable fit, allowing enough room for the foot to swell naturally during activity.
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose debris by brushing the exterior with a soft-bristled brush. Use lukewarm water and mild soap for spot cleaning; avoid submerging them in a washing machine.
  3. Drying: Air dry your trainers in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and GORE-TEX material.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded sharp objects that could compromise the rubber traction.
